Return values from function

[HuggieBear]

Below is a section of code I use in one of my classes, send_html is one of the functions inside the class.  It all works fine, but I want to shorten it, so can I replace the first block of code with the second block?

[code]<?php
function send_html() {
  $headers = "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  $result = mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $headers);
  if ($result){
      return true;
  }
  else {
      return false;
  }
}

if ($mail->send_html()){
  echo "Message sent OK";
}
else {
  echo "Message failed";
}
?>[/code]

[code]<?php
function send_html() {
  $headers = "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  return mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $headers);
}

if ($mail->send_html()){
  echo "Message sent OK";
}
else {
  echo "Message failed";
}
?>[/code]

I guess what I'm asking, is can I return the value of a php function within my user defined function, directly through to the calling script?

Of course. The mail function returns true or false and yes, you can just pass it on.

Thanks Thorpe, I thought as much but wouldn't want to look a fool when replying to post saying as much.
